A number of teachers have said "I've never heard him speak before".
This started a a big idea I knew what I wanted to achieve but it was scary and I needed help. I asked for help and people have it. Be brave enough to try

We wanted people to know what it can feel like to feel confused, alone, left out, like other people get it.. and they did. It was a powerful assembly and I couldn't be more proud of my kids. In fact the boy who hosted the majority of it - and asked to speak.

It's been long time. Can I say my group of 8 boys with genetic or intellectual disabilities, autism, Adhd ran a whole school assembly. We did a flashmob (Iris Goo Goo Dolls from chorus). I choreographed as a science/ maths teacher. My Ss mainstream classes joined us.

#MS is a fickle mistress and she is governing my day today
